Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: What maintenance steps can I take to preserve the appearance of my concrete surfaces and keep them looking new?
• A: To maintain the fresh and new appearance of your concrete surfaces, Tile Cleaners® recommends regular cleaning using a mild detergent. This weekly cleaning routine helps remove dirt and grime from the concrete surface, keeping it looking clean and well-maintained. It is important to note that strong detergents with high acidity or alkalinity can potentially affect the sealer applied to the concrete. Therefore, it is strongly advised to use mild detergents and pH-neutral substances when cleaning the surfaces. By following these maintenance guidelines, you can effectively preserve the pristine condition of your concrete and ensure its long-lasting beauty.
• Q: What are the potential consequences if concrete floors are not sealed?
• A: If concrete floors are not sealed, they are more susceptible to damage. Spills of oily or harsh substances can easily penetrate the surface and leave permanent stains that are difficult to remove using regular cleaning methods. We strongly advise sealing your concrete surfaces to maintain their fresh appearance, provide protection against permanent staining, and prevent potential accidental damage. By sealing your concrete floors, they will retain their optimal condition for a longer period and will be easier to clean and maintain, offering convenience and peace of mind.
• Q: What can I anticipate in terms of the process when your team arrives to reseal my polished concrete floors?
• A: When our professional team arrives to reseal your polished concrete floors, they will provide you with a detailed explanation of the entire process, ensuring complete transparency. The process begins with stripping any existing sealer that may have been applied previously. Next, the polished concrete is thoroughly cleaned and neutralized to eliminate any dust, residue, or contaminants that could interfere with the new sealer. Once the floor is dry, a new sealer is applied and allowed to set. This sealing process not only rejuvenates the appearance of the concrete, making it look new again, but also provides essential protection and makes maintenance easier. By following this comprehensive process, our team ensures that your polished concrete floors receive optimal treatment, resulting in a refreshed and well-protected surface.
• Q: What is the estimated drying time for concrete sealer?
• A: Concrete sealers typically have a relatively quick drying time, and they are often touch-dry within approximately 4 hours. This applies to both penetrating sealers and topical sealers. Penetrating sealers usually reach full curing within 24 hours, while topical sealers may take up to 48 hours to fully dry. It is important to allow sufficient time for the sealer to dry and cure properly before subjecting the concrete surface to heavy use or exposure to water. By following the recommended drying times, you can ensure the effectiveness and longevity of the concrete sealer.
• Q: What can I expect in terms of mess during the stripping and sealing process of terracotta tiles, and is there a risk of damaging walls or skirting boards?
• A: At Tile Cleaning, we take great care to minimize mess during the stripping and sealing process of terracotta tiles. Our approach involves using high-quality, non-solvent-based stripping and sealing products, which are designed to ensure a clean and tidy process. These products are specifically selected to minimize the risk of damaging your floors, walls, or skirting boards. Our team of technicians is trained to handle the process with utmost care, ensuring that your surfaces are protected throughout. In most cases, non-solvent-based strippers and techniques are used, which effectively achieve excellent results without causing any harm. However, in rare circumstances where solvent-based strippers are necessary, additional precautions may be taken. This could involve temporarily vacating the premises for up to 48 hours to ensure safety and provide optimal protection. Rest assured that our experienced technicians will take all necessary measures to maintain a clean and damage-free environment during the stripping and sealing process.
